The benefits and dangers of eating eggs for pancreatitis

Eggs contain many beneficial substances that should not be excluded from the diet. Pure protein is recommended in many diets, although eggs are considered high in calories, but this is due to the yolk. The main advantage of eggs is the easy digestibility of protein, which helps the structure of the body.

Why eggs are good for you:

restore pancreatic cells;
normalize the replication of enzymes and insulin;
restore strength;
strengthen the immune system;
improve the condition of bone tissue, skin and hair;
prevent anemia.

With this kind of inflammation (pancreatitis), you can eat eggs, but you need to monitor your general condition and well-being. If you have an acute stage, then they must be excluded along with the products that contain them. Scrambled eggs are prohibited for pancreatitis; eating them can disrupt the functioning of the digestive tract and cause attacks.

This reaction of the body to eggs may be due to the fact that they often contain all kinds of infection. When you have inflammation of the pancreas, any infection is very dangerous. This is fraught with complications and surgical intervention followed by removal of the organ.

If the disease subsides and you have been feeling well for quite some time, you can slowly introduce eggs into your diet. But you shouldn’t drink them raw, even if you don’t have pancreatitis: they need to be heat treated to remove possible infections.

At what stage of pancreatitis can you eat an omelet?

Depending on the stage of the disease, a disease such as pancreatitis can be divided into several stages: acute phase, remission period and exacerbation.

When the disease makes itself felt for the first time, an attack occurs in which a person experiences acute pain in the abdominal area, nausea, often leading to uncontrollable vomiting, flatulence and diarrhea, loss of appetite, and general malaise in the form of weakness and drowsiness. Usually this crisis does not last long: no more than 2-3 days, however, it is at this stage that it is important to take the first measures to improve your health. We are talking not only about medications, but also about compliance with nutritional rules: the patient is not allowed to eat these days, he is shown absolute fasting, only drinking plain water or chamomile decoction is permissible, but in small quantities. This need is associated with the critical condition of the pancreas, which needs to ensure complete rest in order to be able to restore its function. Since any food stimulates its activity, forcing the production of enzymes for its breakdown, the very need to abstain from food arises. That is why neither an omelet, even a white and steamed one, nor any other products are acceptable at this stage.

From the 6-7th day, experts recommend gradually introducing eggs into the diet, or rather, their protein part. You should start with a minimum amount, bringing the daily volume to two pieces. After 3-4 weeks, taking into account the absence of any manifestations of the disease, you can include a protein omelet in the menu, but not fried, but steamed without the use of vegetable oil or any other additives. The amount of milk used for this dish should also be limited. A little later, after achieving stable remission, yolks are allowed to be added to the omelet, but in this case their presence in the dish is allowed in a minimum volume: ideally there should be half as many of them as whites. It is also permissible to use permitted vegetables, cheese, herbs - all this will be an excellent addition to your dish and will give it not only satiety, but also benefits.

How to eat egg dishes correctly?

You can only cook protein dishes, for example, a steamed omelette for pancreatitis is what you need. Only half of the yolk can be added, as it can contribute to heartburn, diarrhea, and cause exacerbation attacks.

In what form can eggs be consumed for pancreatitis?

If the pancreas is not functioning properly, doctors recommend moderate consumption of eggs. It is especially important to follow such a diet during an exacerbation of the disease. Moreover, the restriction should be imposed not only on omelettes and scrambled eggs, but also on products containing egg white. This could be confectionery, various salads, mayonnaise, and pastries.

The main danger that threatens a patient with pancreatitis is that the use of this product activates the choleretic properties of the body, as a result, this has a bad effect on the functioning of the pancreas. Eggs contain a lot of fat, which can also overload the digestive system. It should be noted that if we talk about the negative effects of this product, then only the yolk should be taken into account. Egg white is easily absorbed by the body and does not lead to complications.

If you overuse egg products, you may encounter a phenomenon such as an allergy, which will be very undesirable in case of pancreatitis. In addition, as a result of poor quality control, eggs may contain various pathogenic infections, which, if not properly heat treated, enter the body and lead to serious problems.

Even during the period of remission of the disease, omelette can only be consumed boiled. For example, it could be a steamed protein omelette. Doctors strongly discourage adding raw tomatoes and cheese to such a dish, as this combination of ingredients can irritate the pancreas mucosa.

In the chronic stage

Strict nutritional rules for chronic pathology are slightly smoothed out. The patient can afford a greater variety of products.

The chronic course is manifested by phases of remission and exacerbation. Remission is manifested by the patient’s good health and the ability to consume a wide range of foods. Some dietary compliance is present at all times. Violation of recommendations leads to decompensation of the condition - exacerbation, of varying degrees of severity. The patient must seriously limit himself.

Classic omelet recipe for inflammatory disease

Steam omelette for pancreatitis is a very simple and tasty dish. It does not require much effort and time to prepare it. Do not eat more than two eggs; in large quantities they can harm the body. If the disease has not manifested itself for a long time, still be careful.

How to cook an omelet for pancreatitis?

Take two eggs.
Separate the yolks from the whites and place in different containers.
Add one hundred grams of milk to the protein.
Stir, add salt to taste (do not overdo it - in case of pancreatitis, its use should be reduced).
If your doctor allows you to eat greens, add them to the mixture and stir again.
Cook the dish in a double boiler, or if you don’t have one, in a non-stick frying pan over low heat, making sure that the dish does not burn.

Omelette with greens

This dish is easy to prepare and can be served for both breakfast and lunch. A steamed protein omelette with the addition of herbs will be appreciated by the whole family, and not just the person who is on a diet. What you need for preparation:

three eggs;
a glass of milk with a minimum percentage of fat content;
a pinch of salt (remember that with the fifth diet it is recommended to consume no more than 10 grams of salt per day);
parsley, dill, basil;
a little ground paprika;
a few drops of vegetable oil.

Preparation:

Divide the eggs into whites and yolks. Place the whites in a dry cup and beat thoroughly with a whisk until foam appears.
Add a little salt and paprika, beat again.
Finely chop the greens, add them to the egg whites, and mix gently.
Pour in the milk and whisk again to make foam appear - this will make the dish more airy.
The steamer container needs to be greased with oil; if the holes are too large, the eggs will drain; cover with gauze. By the way, this method is suitable when there is no double boiler: take a metal colander, cover it with gauze, place it on a pan of water, and cook.
It only takes 10 minutes to cook a steamed egg white omelette.

The dish will turn out very fluffy, soft, aromatic. And you just can’t refuse such an omelet.

The cooking method is very simple:

Take two egg whites and beat them with a mixer, then add 100 ml. milk and a pinch of salt.
Boil 100 grams of lean beef and mince a couple of times for softness.
Mix the minced meat and beaten egg mixture.
Grease the pan with oil and pour the omelette mixture into it. You can use one large container or portioned molds.
The omelette is steamed for 30 minutes.

Sprinkle the finished dish with permitted fresh herbs. The recipe can be changed a little and use chicken or turkey fillet instead of meat.

Subtleties of preparation for patients with pancreatitis

With the development of pancreatitis, patients have to completely adjust their usual diet, which eliminates all their favorite treats and changes the cooking technique. You can no longer fry any food. Everything is prepared by steaming, in the oven, or by boiling. But there is no need to despair, since from the list of permitted products you can prepare very tasty dishes, one of which is a protein omelet with various additional ingredients. This dish should be made only from proteins, and it is recommended to use as additional additives:

twisted lean boiled meat,
chicken fillet,
grated cheddar or mozzarella cheese.

When is it okay to eat an omelet?

During the development of pancreatic disease, the pancreas is damaged by an inflammatory process, against the background of which the following functions of this organ are disrupted:

the level of production of pancreatic juice, which contains special enzymes necessary for the digestion of protein, carbohydrate and fat molecules, is reduced,
the activity of the gland decreases due to its participation in metabolic processes,
the synthesis of certain groups of hormonal components in the body is disrupted.

Patients with a pancreatic diagnosis are allowed to eat omelet, subject to the following rules for its preparation:

the cooking process must take into account aspects of the prescribed nutritional diet, therefore this dish must be steamed,
Scrambled eggs should not contain chicken egg yolks; they should first be separated from the whites by placing them in a separate bowl,
in case of exacerbation of pancreatic pathology, all dishes containing eggs are completely excluded from the diet,
with the beginning of a decrease in the intensity of the manifestation of an aggravated pathology or the establishment of a stable remission, it is recommended to introduce this dish into the diet with extreme caution and minimal doses,
if the recipe contains yolks, then when preparing the dish their volume should be reduced by half the specified amount,
The omelette must be brought to full readiness in strict order, since a raw dish may contain infectious pathogens,
There should be a small amount of milk in the omelet.

And also do not forget about the daily intake of eggs for pancreatic disease, which does not exceed two eggs.

Is it possible to eat an omelet with pancreatitis?

Pancreatitis is a disease in which the pancreas undergoes an inflammatory process. As a result, the tissues of the organ are affected and swelled, and a disruption of its functionality occurs, expressed in the following:

Reducing the amount of produced pancreatic enzymes, which are essential for the breakdown of protein, fats and carbohydrates;
Decreased activity of the gland in metabolic processes;
Violation of hormone synthesis (insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, etc.).

Any food entering the body requires the pancreas to produce pancreatic secretion, with the help of which the digestion process is carried out. In conditions of the inflammatory process, it is quite difficult for the organ to cope with this task; there is a serious load on the pancreas, which only aggravates the current situation. It is much worse if it is fatty and fried food, because in order to assimilate it, the organs of the digestive system, including the pancreas, will have to work hard: such food lingers in the stomach for a long time, it irritates the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract and forces the pancreas to work at full capacity to produce a large number of enzymes. This whole mechanism forms the basis of the need for dietary nutrition. Drug therapy without providing the right diet consisting of easily digestible foods will ultimately be simply powerless.

For pancreatitis, the patient is allowed to eat low-fat meat and fish, cereals, vegetable soups, and fermented milk products with a low fat content. A special place in this list should be given to eggs and dietary meat, since these products contain a lot of animal protein, which is a building material for the cellular structures of organs. For a damaged pancreas, this substance will come in handy, because the affected tissues need regeneration and further normalization of the production of pancreatic secretions.

That is why we can say with firm confidence that omelet for inflammation of the pancreas is acceptable. But here too there are some nuances.

A dish cooked in a frying pan using vegetable oil will not bring any benefit to the body; on the contrary, it will only worsen the condition of the organ and the general well-being of the patient. When heated, oil has the ability to release toxic substances; in addition, it makes the dish excessively fatty, and such food is simply unacceptable for diseases of the digestive system. The only acceptable method of preparation is steaming, as a result of which the dish turns out to be truly dietary and absolutely harmless.

And finally, the last rule to follow is the exclusion of yolks. People suffering from pancreatitis can only eat white omelette, since the yolks have a choleretic effect, which is extremely undesirable in case of inflammation of the pancreas.

Diet omelet with zucchini

A dish based on zucchini will help diversify the patient’s strict diet and have a beneficial effect on the state of the gastrointestinal tract. It can be consumed for breakfast or as an addition to the main dish.

Anyone can prepare a vegetable omelet:

Take a young zucchini, peel off excess skin and chop using a grater or knife. You will need 200 grams of vegetables.
Beat three egg whites with a pinch of salt and 100 ml. milk.
Combine the zucchini and omelette mixture, mix thoroughly and pour into a pre-greased pan.
The omelette needs to be cooked in a double boiler for about 15-20 minutes until done.

An omelet with the addition of boiled broccoli and carrots is no less tasty. To make the dish more satisfying, in addition to vegetables, pieces of boiled chicken or prepared minced boiled meat are added to the mixture.

Correct recipes for pathology

If pancreatitis develops, only protein dishes are allowed. Yolk can be added, but only half as much as indicated in the steamed omelet recipe. This is due to the fact that after eating the yolk, a patient with pancreatic disease experiences:

feeling of heartburn,
diarrhea,
as well as exacerbation of the disease.

It is not recommended to prepare egg-based snacks with the addition of pepper and other seasonings. And also on the exclusion list are all varieties of egg salads dressed with mayonnaise, fried eggs and boiled eggs with fillings.

Let's take a closer look at what types of omelettes can be prepared when the parenchymal gland is affected by inflammation.

Steamed omelette

The technology for preparing the steam omelette recipe is quite simple. The ingredients you will need are chicken eggs in the amount of two pieces, no more, since with pancreatitis it is not recommended to eat a large number of eggs, even during a period of prolonged remission.

We separate the whites from the yolks, which we put into a separate bowl. Add half a glass of milk to the bowl with the whites, mix everything thoroughly and add salt to taste. You can slightly diversify the milk-protein omelet recipe by adding a small amount of chopped herbs. Beat the resulting mass with a mixer or whisk and pour everything into a silicone mold, then place it in a double boiler and cook until fully cooked.

Very important! It is strictly forbidden to cook such dishes in a frying pan, even without adding oil.

If you do not have a double boiler or a multicooker, you can prepare a diet omelette in a water bath using a pan of water. To do this, bring the water to a boil and place a saucepan in the pan, into which the egg-milk mixture is poured. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer the omelette until completely thickened.

Do not forget about the daily intake of eggs for pancreatitis; no more than two eggs are allowed per day.

Protein omelet with meat

If the patient follows a dietary diet with table No. 5, this dish is allowed for consumption. Its recipe is not complicated:

Separate two chicken eggs from the yolk, mix with half a glass of milk and beat everything with a mixer. Add a pinch of salt to the resulting mixture.
A small piece of lean beef must first be boiled until tender and minced a couple of times.
Add the prepared minced meat to the milk-egg mixture and stir everything thoroughly.
Transfer the resulting mixture into a silicone mold and steam for half an hour.

The finished omelette can be decorated with chopped herbs from the permitted list of products.

Diet recipe with zucchini

An omelet with zucchini will be an unusual change in the boring diet of a patient with pancreatitis. It can be eaten as breakfast or as a complement to main dishes. Even a culinary novice can prepare it:

Peel the zucchini and chop it on a grater or with a knife.
Using a mixer, beat half a glass of milk with two egg whites, then add a little salt.
Mix the chopped zucchini with the milk-egg mixture and pour into the form in which the future dish will be prepared.
The diet omelette should be cooked in a double boiler for 20 minutes.

To add satiety to this dish, it is recommended to add a small amount of prepared minced meat from pre-boiled lean meat.

In acute form

An exacerbation is characterized by a clear clinical picture of digestive disorders. The patient suffers from pain in the projection of the gland, vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, and weight loss.

For emergency relief of clinical manifestations that threaten the patient’s life, nutrition is canceled completely, bed rest is prescribed (preferably in a hospital setting), and various symptomatic treatments are prescribed.

Intravenous nutrition is prescribed. After 4-7 days, depending on the severity of clinical manifestations, the first products are included - egg white is included in the list.

conclusions

Protein in reasonable quantities strengthens the pancreas and does not overload it. Therefore, patients can prepare a dietary omelet, which will even be useful for pancreatitis.

Some doctors recommend eating raw eggs to prevent pancreatitis. Not only chicken, but also quail.

Quail eggs are even more beneficial for pancreatitis: they improve metabolism, strengthen the immune system, improve well-being and the general condition of the body, its functioning. They are saturated with everything necessary for the body, as well as natural protein that strengthens the pancreas.

There are two ways to consume quail eggs for treatment.

You can make eggnog, but only use one teaspoon of sugar per two or three eggs. Drink before every meal.
You can drink it just like chicken eggs - raw. For 30 days, morning and evening half an hour before meals. Then take a break of two or three months and repeat everything.

In what quantity and how to eat eggs, you need to determine based on the stage of the disease, general health and, of course, the doctor’s recommendations. Eggs can provide invaluable help for pancreatitis or, on the contrary, worsen your health if taken incorrectly.

There is more than one recipe for an omelet for pancreatitis, so you don’t have to eat the same thing all the time; you can vary your meals.

In any case, do not make decisions yourself, but rather seek help from a specialist who will prescribe you a detailed diet. Do not aggravate the course of the disease by not following a diet, treat your health responsibly. The healing process depends only on you.

In the morning, for breakfast, many traditionally prepare eggs in the form of scrambled eggs or an omelet, adding sausages, tomatoes, cheese, and herbs to the dish. Egg dishes are highly nutritious, have excellent taste and are quick to prepare. But for people with pancreatic diseases, in particular pancreatitis, they need to be prepared according to a specific recipe. You will have to forget about all of the above additives to the dish; moreover, the omelet recipe for pancreatitis even limits the use of egg yolks. However, you don’t need to completely exclude this dish from your diet, but it is important to learn how to cook it correctly. Read the article on how to do this.

The benefits of omelet

No matter how strange it may sound, for patients with pancreatic dysfunction, a dietary omelet can even be useful. The positive impact can be expressed in the following:

Egg white contains a lot of microelements and vitamins necessary for the functioning of the body;
Steam omelette does not contain carcinogens;
Eggs contain leucine, which helps reduce the level of “bad” cholesterol;
A protein omelet is a dietary dish that is easily digestible and does not lead to weight gain.

In order to increase the beneficial properties of eggs, you can resort to a little trick, namely replacing chicken eggs with quail ones. Such a replacement will have a positive effect on the immune system and will reduce the negative impact of enzymes on the damaged organ. In addition, quail eggs have a low risk of salmonella contamination.

During remission

Remission is characterized by the absence of clinical signs and laboratory abnormalities in the patient’s blood tests. This does not mean that you can abandon the nutritional rules and restrictions prescribed by doctors’ recommendations.

If you are feeling well, the patient must comply with:

Quit alcohol, tobacco;
Do not eat highly spicy foods;
Do not eat fried, pickled, dried, salted;
Avoid fancy baked goods.

Egg dishes are allowed in a wide variety:

Omelettes;
Scrambled eggs cooked without butter or vegetable oil;
Souffle;
Casseroles;
Soups;
Fish and meat dishes.

Nutrition pyramid for pancreatitis Recipes must comply with certain cooking rules, portions should not be large.
You are allowed to consume a maximum of 4 eggs per week. It is important to know! It is not recommended to eat boiled eggs during remission; the dense yolk requires effort and enzymatic activity of the digestive system.

Omelet with cheese

How to cook a delicious steamed protein omelette? We suggest using the Italian recipe and adding hard cheese. By the way, if you are a pizza lover but are on a diet, then this diet protein omelet recipe will be an ideal dough replacement. You just have to cook it not by steaming, but in the oven on a baking sheet, but this is not prohibited by the method of the fifth diet. What else can I say about the dish? Very tasty, light but filling.

Products required:

four eggs;
50-60 grams of any hard or semi-hard cheese (you can use several types, it will turn out even tastier);
half a glass of milk;
no salt is needed, there is enough of it in the cheese;
greens optional;
you can take a little sweet ground paprika;
a spoonful of vegetable oil to grease the pan.

Preparation:

Divide the eggs into whites and yolks. Mix with milk.
Grate the cheese of any size; it will still melt during cooking. If you want to get pieces of unmelted cheese, cut it into cubes, the middle will remain hard.
Chop the greens, if using in cooking, mix all the ingredients except the oil.
Grease the steamer pan with oil and line it with gauze if necessary. Pour in the omelette mixture and cook for no more than 10 minutes.
It is recommended to serve the omelet slightly cooled; the cheese needs to thicken slightly, otherwise it will not only be uncomfortable to eat, but also hot, which is contraindicated in diet No. 5.

You can sprinkle the finished dish with fresh herbs, it will also be very tasty, beautiful and aromatic.

Eggs in the diet of patients with pancreatitis

If you have inflammation of the pancreas, it is important to follow the diet therapy recommended by your doctor. It is especially important to adhere to dietary nutrition during exacerbations and during the development of an acute form of the disease. Eliminating foods that are dangerous to the gland will reduce the load on it and speed up the process of its recovery.

In case of acute symptoms of the disease, the patient is prescribed therapeutic fasting, and after 2-3 days light foods are gradually introduced: vegetable purees, viscous porridges, jelly. Eggs should not be consumed in any form during this period. Even a dietary steamed omelet made from proteins alone can aggravate the course of the disease in acute pancreatitis.

During the acute period, it is prohibited to consume any dishes containing eggs: baked goods, cutlets, zrazy, soups, salads, mayonnaise, etc. Eggs activate the production of bile, which negatively affects the condition of the damaged gland. In addition, egg yolks contain a lot of fat, which creates a high load on the digestive tract.

Egg whites are considered a dietary, easily digestible product, but at the stage of acute symptoms they are also prohibited. Poorly thermally processed eggs are especially dangerous; as a rule, this applies to scrambled eggs and omelettes. A raw egg may contain an infection, which, if ingested, can lead to the development of dangerous diseases. For a person suffering from pancreatitis, such an infection can be even more dangerous.

It is recommended to introduce eggs (whites) no earlier than 6-7 days after acute pain subsides and only in boiled form. Yolks are introduced much later and in limited quantities. If the disease is in stable remission, you can include no more than 2 yolks per day in your diet. You need to start with a smaller amount - if the recipe calls for adding a whole egg, it is better to add half the yolk. If no negative symptoms appear, you can add more yolk, but do not exceed the maximum allowed amount - 2 per day.

Tip: Quail eggs are considered safer than chicken eggs, as they are less likely to become infected with salmonella. In addition, quails are not stuffed with antibiotics, unlike chickens, so their eggs will be healthier.

What are the benefits of omelet for patients with pancreatitis?

When the patient’s well-being improves, starting from day 6-7, a protein omelet is introduced into the diet for pancreatitis. The benefits of this dish cannot be underestimated, but only if it is prepared correctly:

You can prepare the dish using a double boiler, multicooker, oven, or by boiling in boiling water;
fat cannot be used;
the omelet is prepared only from proteins, yolks in the amount of 1-2 pieces are introduced only at the stage of remission;
It is allowed to add a small amount of low-fat milk and salt, no additional ingredients (tomatoes, peppers, herbs, meat, sausage, sausages, cheese) can be used (only at the stage of stable remission after consultation with a doctor, it is possible to use some additives, for example, oil, tomatoes , dill, low-fat cheese);
A protein omelet should be introduced into the menu, starting with a small portion, gradually increasing the amount of the product;
the dish should not contain raw protein to prevent salmonella infection.

Subject to the above recommendations for preparing the dish, a protein omelet:

will supply the body with the amino acids necessary for organ restoration;
will become a source of leucine, which reduces cholesterol levels in the blood;
will become an easily digestible breakfast or lunch that creates long-lasting satiety;
will help avoid weight gain, as it is a low-calorie dish.

Protein omelet is a dietary dish, a source of animal protein necessary for the body to build new tissues. This dish, provided it is prepared correctly, is allowed to be eaten daily.

We recommend that you find out how hypotension of the gallbladder is treated.

What are the benefits of omelet for pancreatitis?

Beaten eggs cooked in combination with milk are exactly the hearty and tasty dish that we most often eat for breakfast. The content of a fairly large amount of protein, as well as vitamins and minerals, makes it also useful. For example, protein is aimed at regenerating damaged tissues (and this is especially important for an inflamed pancreas), B vitamins strengthen the immune system, normalize metabolic processes, and improve the functioning of the central nervous system. Vitamin D is an excellent helper, promoting good absorption of calcium; choline is designed to regulate cholesterol and fat levels. All this is very important for the speedy recovery of both the pancreas and the patient as a whole.

The list of useful properties of omelet is quite large, they are as follows:

Saturation of the body with amino acids necessary to replenish strength;
Reducing blood cholesterol due to leucine content;
Prevention of cardiovascular diseases;
Prevention of atherosclerosis;
Maintaining good vision;
Relieving fatigue;
Positive effect on the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.

Another advantage that will be significant for many people is the low-calorie content of the dish, which means that even if consumed daily, weight gain does not occur.

Despite all the positive features, not every omelet will have a healing effect. A dish cooked in a frying pan using vegetable oil can hardly be called healthy, because when heated, this product releases carcinogens that are hazardous to health. It is for this reason that the omelette must be cooked exclusively by steam: in a double boiler or slow cooker - only in this case the dish can be described as safe.

There are a number of other principles that must be followed to ensure that your breakfast does not cause an exacerbation of pancreatitis. These include:

Eating a dish made only from proteins; yolks are allowed in minimal quantities only at the stage of long-term remission;
Exception in the first 2-3 weeks after an exacerbation of such additives as tomatoes, meat, sausage, cheese, herbs;
Gradual introduction of protein omelet into the diet with a gradual increase in serving size (maximum daily dose - no more than 2 eggs).

If you follow these simple rules, you will not only protect yourself from a new attack of the disease, but also saturate your body with a lot of useful substances.

Interesting: It is unknown exactly where the omelet was invented. There is a legend that says that the Holy Roman Emperor of the Habsburg dynasty, Joseph I (1678–1711), got lost while hunting and became hungry. He went into the house of a poor man. The peasant who met him was not taken aback and served the distinguished guest dinner from what he had. Scrambled chicken eggs in a bowl, added milk, baked and served. Joseph liked the dinner and instructed the court chef to take this recipe into his diet. And the cook has improved this recipe. The dish quickly became popular throughout Europe. But it got its name in France - “omelette” - scrambled eggs.

In Asia, the Japanese invented the omelette. Japanese omelette includes rice as an ingredient. It also makes an interesting dietary dish.

In Italy, an omelette is called a fritatta. Additional ingredients for our classic omelette are meat, vegetables and cheese. More often, several types of cheese are mixed (for example, mozzarella, cheddar and ricotta)
